  1. Jimmy Sexton (agent to many of the candidates for this job) is banking right now. And busy.
  2. Yeh crazy trajectory no matter what: Sioux Falls (wins championships there) to Fresno State to Washington (CFP final in his second year.) fucker can coach.
  3. I think over the past couple of years Kraft started to see (I think it’s true)/ or come to believe that Brady was the straw that stirred the Patriots’ success drink. Perhaps. Plus, Bill isn’t a fun get to know you guy at least with work peeps. Even though it was a severing of a 20 year partnership I think Kraft soured on Bill when Brady left and it just went further downhill when the Bucs won the SB and so on.
  4. Thats great. Reminds me of this movie quote: you're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
  5. Didn’t Lanning pretty much do similar with Bo Nix? I mean having a great experienced QB is a difference maker for sure. But he’s proven winner throughout his tenure as a HC at every stop. Both Penix (staying bc of multiple injuries and got the Covid year) and Nix are 23 but somehow the defenders of Lanning don’t point this out and he’s lost to DeBoer x3. I get the schools Lanning has been at vs DeBoer. But DeBoer is a better coach than Lanning. IMO.
  6. DeBoer is 104-12 as HC. He has beaten Sark at Texas twice. He’s a meat and potatoes type that’s not flashy. A grinder. He seems less green than Lanning and has beaten him 3x and I think Norvell while a great HC did too much handwringing (and hey I thought FSU got screwed also) for a school used to Saban. DeBoer and Sark and Lanning and Norvell all repped by the same agent I think. Busy agent. Getting paid like a mofo right now.
  7. Lanning is out. Looks like the Kalen DeBoer stuff is picking up a lot of steam as the Bama AD covets. Fans don’t want Dabo but they’d have to accept it. Kiffin isn’t the guy imo. If Saban had a farewell tour year he’d probably have tried to get Sark to come on board. I think it’s DeBoer if DeBoer says yes.
  8. Man I wouldn’t want my name out there as being last to interview with him though. Saban walking out of that interview like:
  9. If I had 72 hours and I’m just looking at body of work I at least interview Vrabel. I’d pick him over Lanning. But there is so much fascination with Lanning even though DeBoer is the better HC imo. But DeBoer probably wants to stay put. I just don’t think Lanning works out and I sure as shit wouldn’t want to follow Saban. The margin for error is nil.
  10. Said on CBS sports he has role with team at VP operations like level? I guess that’s what I read. I was busy trying to build a forcefield with my mind around Sark but it looks like it wasn’t necessary as Lanning seems to be their dude. I wouldn’t want to follow behind Saban but whatever…
  11. Pete was holding that shit together with Duck tape. If he’d have had the chance to draft a QB I think he’d have been fine. They barely missed the playoffs with Geno. And a dash of Mizzou guy. Plus, he always had a soft spot for drafting Longhorns even when no one else seemed to care. I appreciate him for this. Even moved up in the draft for Dickson. Damn. He’s still a great HC. Cowherd was always on the Wilson train only to find out Wilson sucks as a pocket passer. But his insight isn’t bad on most topics.
  12. On a personal note, having lost my aunt and uncle this year (both at 72–she from Alzheimer’s and he from heart attack they would have been married 51 years this year) I hope Saban’s health concerns are minor ones. Imagine achieving all that and not being able to travel and have some fun the money you made. I can’t imagine him retiring because of how invested he was. Very few people live like he did as a coach. But he should hook up with Jimmy Johnson and Belichick and go deep sea fishing. I don’t wish health issues on anyone.
  13. Everybody be losing their mind Arch picked Texas because he wanted to go to school here and play football with Sark. NSIAP:
  14. I would call up Pete and give him a two year contract. Dude is 72 but acts like early 60’s. Just my stupid opinion but recruiting would be wild. Also he knows the pro side of it. And the whole coincidence thing with Saban and Carroll. That gives you a chance to really watch the up and comers and then pounce. I will miss Saban. Beating Bama was a barometer for your team in some ways (not all teams.) he was the standard to beat. It’s weird he didn’t set up his team for a successor I guess or have a farewell tour year. I guess that’s how he wanted it to go. I think he had a bad taste in his mouth from all the fans wanting his ass gone early this year and was like have fun with me gone you ingrate fans.
  15. Pete got Seahawks their only SB win. And got them there twice. The hell!? People don’t appreciate great HCs. He nearly made the playoffs with Geno! He held that team together when Russ was a shell of himself. People are morons. Damn.
  16. Man did not think he would retire this soon. He was a formidable opponent. Like slaying the dragon so to speak and glad we were able to do that once. College football is ever changing and in some ways not for the better but damn he was good. Whether you like him or respect him or not, he will be missed, except by the schools that could never beat him. Across the landscape of football there hasn’t been in the last decade a coach or a team I wanted to beat more. Damn. Stunning news. Can’t believe Seattle fired Pete Carroll today. The fuck is going on??
  17. Man I remember that former aggy football player back in 2015 in Dallas. He had schizophrenia i think. he ran down some poor jogger on a trail with a machete. The eye witness accounts of that were something out of a horror movie. One witness said he hacked away at the victim (who died obviously) like firewood. Geez. Why did I have to remember that? Should not have gone looking for the news articles. Damnit. Sweet dreams. Nightmare fuel.
  18. It’s how serial murderers stay off the grid. Or so I’ve read…
